What is the meaning of foolish and who determines that? In most instances I would agree, but what if we decided on this philosophy with such beliefs as racism, sexism, etc. Those are truly foolish beliefs but I believe it is important not to simply forgive them and move on. Those such beliefs need to be confronted as Martin Luther King Jr. so eloquently did.

i found "forgiveness" is a heavy topic. i personally think it depends on situations. and i also found the roads toward peace are multiple, both "forgiveness" and "unforgivingness" can lead us there. i truly believe, not all things happen on this earth are forgivable.

I suppose it depends on what the belief is (if something is against the law or completely cruel and degrading, I'll be against it) but if it's something that is just a different way of looking at things or a different philosophy or religious belief, I'll happily accept and embrace those different opinions.

Everybody have faults, love someone like a father, mother, brothers, friends, family, kids or a wife is all about respect a personality and all that come with that, who in the earth do not believe in some personal matters? does not mean everyone will love it? all is about take what people is, it is a negotiation of love, you give something and receive other thing, tolerance in the middle of the liberty but with conscience. A hug. Mario.

If two people both forgave one another's foolish beliefs, wouldn't we just end up with two foolish people who don't mind the other being foolish doing foolish things based on foolish beliefs?... Unless of course they don't act or make a decision on their foolish beliefs - in which case there wasn't anything foolish except a thought and only a foolish person would need to forgive a thought.

I think there is a difference between foolishness and true evil as some people point out above. Pol Pot would not respond to hugs. But if my idea is foolish, you would forgive me right? NP, your Daily Dish is always provocative.
